Consider trade relations between the United States and Mexico. Assume that the leaders of the two countries believe the payoffs to alternative trade policies are shown in the following payoff matrix: United States' Decision Low Tariffs High Tariffs Mexico's Decision Low Tariffs $28 billion, $28 billion $20 billion, $30 billion High Tariffs $30 billion, $20 billion $25 billion, $25 billion The dominant strategy for the United States is always to choose tariffs. The dominant strategy for Mexico is always to choose tariffs. True or False: The Nash equilibrium outcome for trade policy is for the United States to have low tariffs and Mexico to have high tariffs. True False In 1993, the U.S. Congress ratified the North American Free Trade Agreement, in which the United States and Mexico agreed to reduce trade barriers simultaneously. True or False: Given the trade strategy decisions in the table, the United States is better off and…
In the collusion game, collusion was only sustainable in the infinite horizon repeated game. One Nash Equilibrium of that game can be found when all players play a “grim trigger” strategy, where they collude until an opponent chooses to compete, and then compete for all future rounds as a punishment. In such a game, if the one period bonus that comes from competing is low enough, firms always collude and the punishment is never triggered. Is the punishment (vowing to compete forever after one deviates) realistic, especially if firms can communicate freely? Why or why not? (Hint: Is a grim trigger Nash Equilibrium a Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium? What kinds of Nash Equilibria does Subgame erfection rule out in sequential games?)
Consider the following information for a static game. If you advertise and your rival advertises, you each will earn $5 million in profits. If you choose not to advertise and your rival chooses not to advertise, you will each earn $10 million in profits. However, if one of you advertises and the other does not, the firm that advertises will earn $15 million and the firm that does not advertise will earn $1 million. Assuming that each player cares only about his or her own profits, the Nash equilibrium is? Explain your answer in three long paragraphs (intro body and conclusion)
A payoff matrix is shown below. With the payoffs in each field indicated in the form (Player 1’s payoff, Player 2’s payoff). Player 2 Left Right Player 1 Up ($1, $1) ($2, $4) Down ($7, $8) ($3, $3) Which of the following is true? The only Nash Equilibrium is Player 1 playing ‘Up’ and Player 2 playing ‘Right’. The only Nash Equilibrium is Player 1 playing ‘Down’ and Player 2 playing ‘Left’. The only Nash Equilibrium is Player 1 playing ‘Down’ and Player 2 playing ‘Right’. None of the other answers provided are true.
